Cornell's Tackling Machine from the 2014 Ivy Gridiron
JJ Fives burst onto the scene as a junior starter for Cornell in 2014, racking up 36 tackles, 7.5 TFLs, and 3 sacks in just 7 games, showcasing elite pass-rush instincts and run-stopping ferocity from the outside linebacker spot. His explosive first full season as a starter highlights a high-motor defender with NFL-caliber disruption potential, though limited games suggest possible injury concerns. A gritty Ivy League gem, Fives is a perfect fit for teams needing immediate LB depth and proven production without the hype.
